Performing Backup of Your Server
Accessing the Microsoft Windows Server Backup Snap-in

The following backup options are available:
• Enabling backups to be run on a regular schedule using the Backup
Schedule Wizard
.
• Creating a one-time backup using the
Backup Once Wizard.
NOTE: The Backup Once Wizard is intended for you to create backups that
supplement regularly-scheduled backups. It is recommended that you do not use
the
Backup Once Wizard as the only means of creating backups.
You can recover a backup of a scheduled backup or one-time backup using the
Recover Wizard.
Choosing Volumes to Backup
To create a backup, you need to specify the volumes that you want to include.
The volumes you select impact what you can recover. You have the following
options.
Volume Options Recovery Options
Full server (all volumes) Back up all volumes if you want to be able to
recover the full server—all the files, data,
applications, and the system state.
Critical volumes Back up just critical volumes (volumes
containing operating system files) if you only
want to be able to recover the operating system
or system state.
Noncritical volumes Back up just individual volumes if you only
want to be able to recover files, applications, or
data from that volume.
